Its origin is as follows: Mr. Jacob Moore, of Brighton, New York (well-known for his enthusiastic devotion to the business of artificial crossing of fruits, in order to produce improved varieties), raised this among other cross-bred seedling Grapes, it being a cross between Concord and Diana Hamburg. It is equal to or better than the Delaware in flavor and richness, with even less pulp, very sweet, pure and delicate in character; an excellent table fruit.

The Empire State is a seedling of the Hartford Prolific, fer- tilized with the Clinton: fruited the first time in 1879, and its crop was thirty-eight bunches, which it carried through in fine order. Its crop in 1880 was forty-eight bunches of most magnifi- cent fruit. Grafts inserted in two-year-old Clinton and Champion vines in 1880, produced in 1881 from twenty to thirty bunches per vine, ripening with Hartford Prolific and Moore's Early.
